Windows EXPERIENCE | Freestyle Update
Your way in Re-EXPERIENCING the Best of the Digital Age!
Please note that this mod is very well complete and this may be the last update this mod will get. Unless there are new discoveries in making Windows 10 more faithful to Windows XP, the mod is done as of now.
Mirror of Notes.rtf:
This document is here to discuss what is brand new on this and to point out issues that you should be aware off.
Please Read!
I will ignore you if you point out any of the issues that are listed on this, you should've read this file before complaining. I also have
every right in refusing to add anything you suggest. It's my mod, and I can do whatever I want to it.

What's New?
⦁ Zune & Embedded are here to complete the collection! To change themes, go to "Change Luna Theme" on the Control Panel, if you do not see it, enable Large/Small Icons view. Or, run Set-Theme.bat.

⦁ ALOT more icons are changed, making the mod feel more consistent in icons. You should see not much Windows 10 or Vista/7/8 icons using the mod.

Issues
⦁ Changing from Luna to any other theme may cause the screen to be black and kick the user out of the desktop. Go through the process of changing themes and it will apply. This also fixes broken WindowMetrics from the aftermath.
⦁ The program that is used to force the Basic (Non-DWM) Window Borders is broken when installing this mod with any language but en-US.
⦁ The Appearance tab on Display Properties crashes the applet, use "Change Luna Theme" on the Control Panel to change themes.
⦁ Inactive Caption Text color is inaccurate, this has something to do with Windows 10.
⦁ Dialogs, Strings, and Menus will be unmodified if you use any language other than en-US.
⦁ Any DPI above 100% will be broken. This mod is incompatible with ANY type of DPI scaling.
⦁ File Explorer's toolbars may look messed up when it's opened when it's maximized by default.
⦁ Tray area of the taskbar will be broken when showing all tray icons.
⦁ Volume system tray may not change the volume. This depends on your sound configuration and the Sound Devices.
⦁ Some of the menus on File Explorer will not work (ex. "Favorites", "Help"). These are only here for the sake of accuracy and being faithful to Windows XP.
⦁ On-Screen Keyboard will show a QWERTY + CJK layout.
⦁ Internet & E-mail may look wrong on Royale/Royale Noir & Zune/Embedded, this can be fixed by adding one black character (?) when renaming each of them.
⦁ All themes other than Luna have incorrect DWM Window Frames. This will be noticable when a program is not responsing, running a program as SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller, and the small delay forcing the Non-DWM (Basic) Window Frames.
⦁ Windows Messenger does not work. This is due to Microsoft shutting down the servers. If you feel so in using it, look for trusted services that hosts servers for MSN/Windows Live Messenger. I personally recommend in using Escargot (https://escargot.chat/). Though be cautious on using these outdated services, even if they're secure.

I really love this mod since it looks great. Everyone who is just bitching about how Malwarebytes or Avast won't work is just a bunch of morons. Windows

Defender is better and yeah sure maybe Windows Security might not work because of the hardware compatability but it's completely fine. Like how Michael MJD said you should run this inside a VM or a second computer.

It looks great and there was undoubtedly a lot of work put into it but there are several reports of programs not working, such as AVG,Avast, driveridentifier,

which, last I checked, even the REAL xp can run those, so just use real windows 10 or real windows xp, as they will be more stable than this.

One more thing change that windows boot logo people would think I'm using a fake Windows XP.

Lastly, no windows startup or shutdown sound.

1. Pls add windows 2000 look with setup looks.
2. On Windows xp freestyle update, make more realistic you should change the start button tooltip to "click ... here to begin' and winhawk mod you should apply two options. First is disable grouping on Taskbar and classic desktop selection and windows xp sounds as windows default. And make more the setup like xp setup. Please upgrade your OS.
3. We need Windows Vista, 7 and 8.1 look, too

You could use the XP Shutdown menu, it's on YouTube.
One issue though, I'm on x64 and I can't see FindeXer.

about i tried on iphone 5 from 2012 and still no mtp driver where even original xp sp3 has it. Of course I wanted to give the remake a shot and wanted to contact the creator on discord. Unsuccessfully.
